Dear Abby: Because I was sexually abused as a child, I have difficulty trusting men. My oldest sons have different fathers. While they were toddlers, I met the father of my youngest two sons. In the beginning, I wasn’t in love with him, although I have grown to love him.

While I am now in love with him, because of the abuse I put him through, he doesn’t feel the same. He’s a great father to all my boys. How can I express that I’m in love with him and want a relationship? — A Second Chance
